Overview: Last year's financial failures highlighted some of the more egregious examples of corporate fraud. However, they also brought to mind another concern: aggressive accounting. The entrepreneurial spirit of many fast-growing companies of the 1990s led some of them to use aggressive accounting, but in some cases, these methods clearly crossed the line.
